Connect & Engage With Social Workspaces

Profiles – Individual profiles for each community member bring identity into the classroom, allowing peers to connect and enabling personal expression within the context set by an instructor. Profiles may include not only common demographic information or relevant interests, but also a simple β€œstatus” update that is shared with the community.

Blogs – Teachers and Students may maintain individual blogs. Unlike other blogging services, however, only authorized community members may read or respond to ClassSpaces blogs, eliminating many of the concerns commonly associated with blogging.

Communities – The centerpiece for classroom discussion and collaboration on materials, communities provide secure online places for real engagement. Teachers and students use a dynamic β€œFeed” to share information, from questions and comments to shared links, video files, or other resources.

Wikis – Each community may work on any number of wikis, allowing classes to work collaboratively within project teams or to develop an idea progressively among larger groups.

Documents – Document storage, sharing, and group-editing is supported, including WebDAV integration for Office 2009 and OpenOffice products.

Mobility – Support for iPhone and Blackberry devices allows community members to engage from any location, whether in front of a traditional computer or not.

Tagging & Search – User-generated tags and a powerful, indexed search capability provide unique, fast access to information. Beyond traditional searches that find only documents, our powerful Social Search also identifies relevant communities and people who are content experts for your search terms.
